Quick picker

Still not sure? Start here.

Match your dog’s situation to the right protein in seconds.

My dog has a sensitive stomach

Lean, low-fat, exceptionally digestible — the protein vets reach for first during recovery diets and gastro flare-ups.

Chicken Delights

My dog is anxious or reactive

Higher tryptophan than other meats — supports natural serotonin production and a calmer baseline. Useful daily for anxiety-prone pups.

Turkey Patties

My dog is highly active

Iron-rich, protein-dense fuel for working and high-energy dogs. Substantial chew that holds attention through long sessions.

Beef Strips

My dog has confirmed allergies

True novel protein — most Australian dogs have never been exposed, so the immune system has nothing to react to. A long-time staple for elimination-diet rotations.
